To Set up the Camera as a webcam via USB instead, watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGfOoKKFrtefqM0&ab_channel=K24Tech

@@SuspDave So A reason for the Camlink is higher output upto 4k and honestly depends on youyr needs and wants. Personally for Live streaming where its a talking style stream, the camlink is better quality and connection because naturally HDMI gonna be better. But for use as a webcam or streaming gameplay where you're just in a box in the corner, USB is more than enough so varies on what you may want out of it. Personally I've never encountered your problem. The USB streaming works in a way where you have to disconnect the cable before you hit the start stream. So it should always be start streaming n the camera, then connect cable and I always leave my mac on and everything connected and never faced this so really unsure. You cant leave everything connected and then just start streaming. The cable needs to come out first. That's just from my experience in using it though. Try fiddling with the settings a bit. My newer video goes through the steps but if you're using it already it should be all the same

[@SuspDave]

Yeah, thank you, I think I just need to get used to plugging the cable out after streaming, seems to do the trick! And yeah, kinda figured out the quality aspect myself, so deleted my comment again - didn't think you'd reply so quickly^^ Thanks again!

[@mrburritoslayerRSL]

I was trying to figure out why my ZV-e10 was not connecting on streamlabs obs with the el gato camlink 4k. 9:33 WAS A LIFE SAVER! I had checked other videos and they gave me the same camera settings that I already had from other videos. You went over all that same stuff too. BUT you were the only one who said to "MAKE SURE YOU ARE PLUGGED INTO USB 3.0!" After struggling for 27 Min, when I switched to a usb 3.0 port, my streamlabs obs picked up the zve10 and now I can record and stream video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@Kaiu24]

Yes! That part is definitely key!! A USB 2 port is not fast enough to carry a video signal, so it has to be 3.0 and above!

Hi, Thanks for the video! instead of using a dummy battery, can you charge over usb and use a capture card at the same time?

Hey Thanks for the video! I was wondering if I do have a camlink, am I better off recording via that to OBS so it saves to my computer directly (to save space) rather than recording it and saving it to a chip?

[@Kaiu24]

If you are recording pure video to later edit and post then I would say the internal recording is superior and better. If however you want to record footage of your stream or with overlays and stuff then you can through OBS.

[@shosanVT]

@@Kaiu24 Thanks for the fast reply. I was under the impression that with the camlink (and OBS), I would be able to do 1080p + be able have my audio synching with the microphone I want. Wouldn't I have to buy a microphone extension if I would want to record with the camera? Is internal recording always superior?

[@Kaiu24]

@@shosanVT it really depends on what you want to do with the footage. Recording through OBS isnt bad at all and if you are using a microphone that’s connected to your PC then yes that’s a good option without having to buy a new microphone or extension to connect to the camera. For youtube and social media the 1080p through OBS will be fine. Just make sure all your in camera setting, lighting and exposure are correct and the recorded footage will still look very good

Follow all the steps in the video. You need to turn clean hdmi feature on

[@Kevinmarra]

@6:22 You suggest using HD, why? Aren’t you passing up on resolution when making this choice?

[@Kaiu24]

With this camera the 4k has a crop and not only that this output may strain the computer a bit (depending on the computer). Not only this, if you are streaming to twitch or some streaming platforms, the 4k stream is heavily down sampled and you actually don’t get the maximum quality out of your output anyway. This is also the case if you are using a lower end or cheaper capture card I would say 1080p is the preferred standard but if you want to try using the 4k and it works without an issue for you then by all means go for it.

That happens when you are usb streaming instead of capture card streaming. Usb streaming will give you a slight delay. Capture card streaming gives you the full quality.

[@WeirdFlex]

[@Kaiu24]

If you are just using for streaming and not recording internally you dont need an SD card

[@mutedmutiny9542]

FYI you don’t even need a capture card for this camera, you can stream directly over USB-C just using the cable that it comes with, although the output is like 720p I believe so it’s not as good as using the HDMI + cam link, but I’m pretty sure it would be on par with that USB2.0 dongle that you show off in the video. Point is if you don’t have any of those devices you can just use the USB-C cable and have it work right out of the box with no fuss.

Thanks, any particular reason why not stream in 4K?

[@Kaiu24]

Several, to begin with the 4K on this camera is heavily cropped (so on top of the usual aps-c crop there is a further 1.6x crop or something) which is inconvenient if streaming in a small space or room. Secondly, 4k is more taxing on the camera and the pc. Thirdly if you are streaming gameplay and your camera is a small box in the corner, the 4k wont be noticed, even if you are doing a full talking stream, 1080p is much smoother and easier to watch for viewers. In essence 4k streaming is overkill. You can if you want to, nothing to say its bad, its just unnecessary.

@@Kaiu24 Thanks, the huge crop I think comes from the video stabilizer, once I turned that off that was gone - a revelation on that frustration :D I do agree on the overkill and since I've been using local to cloud recording services, 4K had frame rate glitches, 1080 looks just as good and eliminated the issue.

You definitely Can but streaming and recording in 4k might strain your Pc but as long as it is powerful enough to do both should be fine. The 4K has a slight crop and also you’ll have to make sure you have the 4K camlink or capture card to do this

[@FC-py6xk]

@@Kaiu24 the main reason for using OBS to record my KZbin vids and connect my Sony ZV-E10 to my computer via Camlink 4K is to use my computer as the storage device for the video recordings to be directly stored onto my computer during the filming process. This way, I was thinking that we could remove the step of always having to take out the SD card and transfer the files from the SD card onto my computer, since I do the editing of those recorded clips on my desktop. Currently, I don’t do any live streaming since I’m just focused on producing KZbin videos. In your opinion, would you suggest that I continue to use OBS and only record my vids using the Camlink 4K just to make it easier for all the files to be directly stored onto my computer OR should I just record things the normal way that involves using the camera with an SD card??

@@FC-py6xk so like yourself I focus on youtube much more and haven’t streamed in a long time. Personally, i say the internal recording is the better option if you want the highest quality videos. You can definitely use the obs method but personally i find the quality just isnt as great as internal recording. I would suggest experimenting both ways with a small clip and do a side by side comparison to see which you think is better. If you aren’t recording in S-Log and the footage you film is simple and doesn’t require colour grading then the OBS option may work just fine and if it works for you then go for it.

[@MrPabloej1]

In the record settings i dont get a 60p option. Only 50p,25p, and 100p Does anyone know why that could be?

[@Kaiu24]

It's because you are in the Europe region and your camera is set to PAL settings. This isn't an issue you can choose 25p and set shutter speed to 1/50 and you will have the same quality. There is an option somewhere on the yellow settings to change to NTSC and you will get the 24, 30 and 60p options instead. I'm in the UK and I do this because I prefer those frame rates over the PAL ones

You would get a slight crop if you do. Its possible but I would advise against it. Your bandwidth would be affected and you would get more latency in your stream. Also most twitch compresses your output heavily if you are anything less than a Partner so it wouldn’t make a huge difference

So to answer this yes you absolutely can and if you want to use it for zoom calls or just as a standard webcam then thats more than enough. The MAX output res over USB is 720p.

Make sure to check all the connections. It sometimes helps to remove and re-add the sources to your camera

[@monsieurbrush]

@@Kaiu24 I did already and tryed my 2 different USB on the computer . I gave up and plan to do my tomorow stream with the usb streaming option. i am very sad. thanks for answer

[@simplyalemon]

how come my camera isnt swapping to connect to my camera?

[@Kaiu24]

How do you mean? Through this setup the camera will not change or swap modes. The feed should simply show on the PC if done correctly.

[@simplyalemon]

@@Kaiu24 hey found out my issues! wasn’t in movie mode specifically i had it in video but it didn’t swap to movie then i had the cam link plugged into a 2.0 and not a 3.0 usb port

[@Kaiu24]

@@simplyalemon Glad you figured it out!!

[@potatonian]

you got the webcam set up so you might aswell stream some cod or something sometime

[@Kaiu24]

Lol i do say in the video I dont wanna use this camera as a webcam myself. But i will be streaming soon. Probably when Halo comes out

[@potatonian]

@@Kaiu24 halo is indeed going to be a phenomenon

[@CristopherYusuke]

why not use stream for usb-c on sony ? in that case you dont need capture card and option " usb power supply " you gonna have 3h of streaming before shut down

[@Kaiu24]

The main reason: quality. You wont get full 1080 or 4k streaming over usb. Nowhere near. Its still better than a webcam but not as good compared to using a capture card. Usb cant transfer video data anywhere near as well as hdmi. You may also have increased latency etc. usb is a good quick option, but capture card is the overall better option

[@saintwolfcrypto]

is 1/50 ok instead of 1/60 and why not use 4k ??

[@Kaiu24]

If you are using 25p or 24p then 1/50 is fine. 4K on this camera is heavily cropped and has focus issues from my experience. Also outputting in 4K is far more taxing on the computer and not necessary when streaming in my opinion

[@jerseyltd]

Does this camera overheat?

[@Kaiu24]

I haven’t experienced any overheating issues. I would say if used for recording for long periods it does heat up a bit but nothing worrying. If used for streaming though unlikely to heat up

[@jerseyltd]

@@Kaiu24 ok so its a good buy? Im about to get it

[@Kaiu24]

@@jerseyltd i think its a great camera! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH6WnHh4acx1fNU I have a review on it but if you want something that will serve you long term for video and streaming then I would recommend both this or the Canon M50 Mk ii. Both equally as good so down to personal preference

[@truk3k266]

Have you heard of lagging occurring with a pc more so? I do not have a Mac.

[@Kaiu24]

Connected through Hdmi and capture card there shouldnt be any lag really, unless the pc is very old or doesnt have a strong enough processor or graphics card.

[@franciscogonzalezferrada1249]

When I connect My zve10 on My PC OBS shows a rainbow screen 😢

[@Kaiu24]

Try replacing the hdmi cable. The rainbow screen means there is no signal going into the capture card. Tighten the connections and replace the cable and see if it makes a difference.

[@franciscogonzalezferrada1249]

@@Kaiu24 it makes sense, because I've actually been using a HDMI to HDMI cable with a micro HDMI adapter connected to the camera. A video capture conectes via UBS to a hub.

[@Roland.Schaal]

Why 1080 and not 4K?

[@Kaiu24]

1080 is better to stream at in my opinion. Takes less bandwidth and so overall you dont get lag or latency compared to 4k. Streaming in 4k is also meaningless in the grand scheme because VERY FEW people will watch a stream in 4k.

[@willpenaa]

what if you want to shoot in 4k? then you do want to put it in 4k mode, right? lol

[@Kaiu24]

Yes but for streaming its not necessary because most streaming platforms will compress it to 1080p anyway. But yeah if you want to then use the camera in 4k then just pop it back to 4k mode

[@realworld1626]

Can zve10 output 100fps in 1080p via HDMI

[@Kaiu24]

No hdmi capture card will output 100fps as far as I know. Also why would you need to do that? Just curious

[@realworld1626]

@@Kaiu24 I shoot music videos And I want to purchase a external monitor for my zve10 I shot 50% of my videos in 100fps for slowmotion in post production I'm wondering if I will be able to see anything on the monitor screen or not when I will shoot in 100fps If not then this is really sad because I really need an monitor

[@Kaiu24]

@@realworld1626 ok in that case you obviously wont use a capture card. To be honest in that case this is dependent on the monitor not the camera

[@realworld1626]

@@Kaiu24 so the zve10 can output 100fps in 1080p via HDMI cable?

[@Kaiu24]

@@realworld1626 basically I think the answer is no. Regardless of monitor. What will likely happen when you try to output in 100fps mode is the external monitor will just downgrade the display signal to 60fps. So the camera will still record at 100fps but the monitoring will be at 60. Hope that makes sense

[@zegan_audio]

why do you use a capture card? Can i just use a USB-C cable?

[@quizzyondemand]

Campfire card makes the footage more responsive

[@Kaiu24]

So to answer this yes you absolutely can and if you want to use it for zoom calls or just as a standard webcam then thats more than enough. The MAX output res over USB is 720p. With HDMI and capture card you can utilise up to 4K outputs so thats much better for live streaming and means you can capture higher quality clips from your streams to then use as additional content

[@michifea]

my only shows 50p?

[@Kaiu24]

The camera is probably set to PAL mode if you are in Europe or UK. You can change this if you want to NTSC from the settings

[@JosephHollak]

Skip to 1:33 and you won’t miss anything.

[@Kaiu24]

Thanks! I wasnt able to provide timecodes and chapters for this video so this is helpful for everyone who wants to skip my blabbing at the beginning!

[@jigsomyoca5377]

I dont think you need a capture card, the zv e10 has a stream mode

[@Kaiu24]

For sure! The stream mode is also insanely good. But this is just for those who wanna go the extra mile because you “could” get up to 4k quality in your streams this way vs 720p on stream mode. Just for those who really wanna bother. I have a tutorial on the stream mode also which is pinned here :)

[@jigsomyoca5377]

@@Kaiu24 yeah i just learned of this... thanks for the info 🙂

[@TheOnlyAndreySotnikov]

Instead of a fake battery, you can use any USB charger.

[@Kaiu24]

I think the issue with this camera is it doesnt charge via usb while it is on

[@TheOnlyAndreySotnikov]

@@Kaiu24 You are not charging anything with a fake battery as well. The goal is to provide power, not to charge, and this works via USB port while the camera is on.

NOT WORTH WATCHING HE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW THIS CAM CAN BE USED OVER USB AS A WEB CAM

[@Kaiu24]

My friend, I do know it can be used via USB. BUT this is specifically for using with a capture card. Just because the video is based around 1 method doesn't mean I don't know the other exists..
